Hi there! I know it has been a while since I had started this post, but I was still wondering if anyone could please give me some more information about this school and their ADN program. I am looking to get some information before attending an info ...

All I can say about the program from what I've read and what I've heard is that it is disorganized and overpriced for an ADN program. Again this is what I've gathered from other students and not my opinion or my experience with this school. I know th...

There are still some Boston area hospitals that will hire ADN grads. I know of three in particular that hire them (1 or 2 that won't rush you to get your BSN). I won't post the names here out of respect for the Hospitals and for safety/privacy reason...

MassBay Community College (and pretty much any other Massachusetts community college) offers a lot of 8 week courses that you can either take during the first part of the semester or during the latter half of the semester. Its up to you and of course...

In addition to the suggested schools, I think you should look into UMASS Boston and Salem State. If you get into UMASS, it takes about 2.5 to 4 years for you to complete the program depending on the courses you've taken. Also you have to take the TEA...

Hi there! I'm from Boston and have been looking to find any ABSN programs to apply to in NY. (As you may already know, it is really hard to get into a program over in Beantown and ABSNs are 10x worse than aiming for the traditional track.) I would re...

Thank you very much for all of this information. I appreciate it very much :-)

That has no meaning. It's just stating what you applied for. You won't know if you've been rejected or accepted until you receive the decision letter. This year they also changed their application requirements to include the TEAS V test so I'm not su...

Alright and again, thank you so much for all of this wonderful information :)

Steph thank you!! You and Bcdawber have really helped to answer my questions; I honestly can't thank you two enough. Another question that popped into my head was regarding prior undergrad GPA. I know that the minimum qualifying GPA is 2.70 but do yo...

Thank you for all of this information Bcdawber!! I really appreciate it. I actually live in the Boston area so I've been taking all of my courses at MassBay CC. I took Chem 2 a few years ago and hated it, but I'm hoping that I can get the same profes...

If you have any questions about the program or for those who attended previously, please read the attached link :) https://allnurses.com/massachusetts-state-nursing/mcphs-in-nutshell-497487.html

If you don't mind me asking, how was the application process for the both of you??? (Who did you ask to write your recommendation letters?) Is it possible to still apply if only one pre-req hasn't been taken yet? Or is it just better to apply after t...

There are some hospitals that will hire ADN grads, you just have to be willing to look hard. A friend of mine works with a lot of ADN nurses at one particular hospital and everyone gets along fine. There's also a nurse there with a prior BA like her ...

I don't know if there is a thread anywhere on this site for this topic, but I'll start one anyway. Also if anyone else needs to vent out their issues here please do so especially since none of us are alone in this journey... Sometimes I feel like giv...

With everything that has been said, I have to wonder why this has yet to be investigated? I mean I understand that admissions committees make the assumption that those with great grades will 'succeed' in their programs, but they need to start realizi...

Thank you dragonfly414 and mc0306!! I recently turned 24 and have been trying to get into nursing schools since I graduated with my BA 2 years ago. Sometimes I really do feel like giving up, but then I remember that this is something that I want and ...

Thank you CapeCodDreamer!!! If Salem and other nursing schools (Associate or Bachelors) are looking for medical students, then I believe they are looking in the wrong location or need to change their criteria.

One thing I've learned with this website: you're never alone... I feel the same way (about nursing criteria). It seems you really have to be an A student to get in, but the best students in my opinion are the ones who are always working hard and neve...

I had to call the school today about my status. They finally updated it online and it says I've been rejected as well. No time to be sad but to keep moving... Thanks again for all of your support :)

Thank you for your support as well. I will try to keep some hope up for Salem. I'll definitely be keeping you in my thoughts :)

That good I'm happy you have a place for next year. I keep checking my status online all the time and nothing has changed at all. I don't know what I'll do if I don't get in, maybe try an accelerated program (my absolute last choice), but you never k...

i'm so sorry , now you have me really worried (i really wish i knew what to say to you). i'll probably get something in the mail tomorrow :/... i will definitely keep you updated. what are your plans now?

Its always better to start with a buddy at least you're not alone. I check my status all the time including the transfer credit, which I would assume would've been a clue to my standing within the program. I have no transfer credit awarded whatsoever...

Congrats to all those who've been accepted!! As for those who have been rejected, don't give up... It might've not been your time now, but don't worry for it will come to you :)
